I'm a slacker. 34, 35, 36 weeks...

Oh man I'm such a slacker. I'm sorry everyone! I will try to get better I promise. Anyways here is week 34, 35, and 36 combined.

34 weeks  35 weeks 36 weeks
How far along: 36 weeks tomorrow
How Big:
34 weeks: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long.

35 weeks: Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon)

36 weeks: Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long.

Weight Gain: Got weighed yesterday and I'm up to 38 pounds total. :(
Stretch Marks: yes tummy, sides, and thighs
Maternity Clothes: all pants now, mostly all maternity shirts too
Sleep: depends on the night, its not that she keeps me up, its that I'm getting so big and can't sleep on my tummy
Symptoms: contractions off and on. We had a scare on Tuesday, May 22nd, but we are okay now.
Best Moment this Week: That we are now on weekly appointments
Food Cravings:Panda again

Food dislikes: frozen meals still, and I think will cont to be.
Gender: Girl
Movement: yes all day long. :)
What I miss: I would have to say being able to wear my cute spring clothes
Belly Button: slowly coming up, not sticking out yet
What I am looking forward to: just being at 37 weeks knowing if she comes we are in the clear
Milestone: 
34 weeks: Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well.
35 weeks: Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
36 weeks: She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of her first bowel movement.

This was me at 35 weeks and 2 days...
